Has the good old slapshot gone the way of the dinosaur. A nice hard slapshot just before you hit the blue line of enemy territory directed at the opposing goalie letting your off winger pick up the big rebound with a quick deke and scoring Into the open cage, no dump and chase. Just a good hard slapshot on target net where anything Is possible.

A gritty game by the Pats last night. Cudos to Mat for leading the way. The coaching staff has done a good job and the boys have obviously bought into the system. They have to learn to win games with the Pats having the 2 to 1 shot advantage.
